An Antarctic blast is sweeping the nation on Tuesday, bringing icy temperatures, blankets of snow and significant swells to the North Island.
High winds and thick swathes of snow have resulted in multiple flight cancellations and widespread road closures in the South Island, but the north is also bearing the brunt of the polar blast. The capital was hammered by hail earlier this morning, with heavy snow carpeting several areas in the north, including the rural community of Taihape, certain parts of Taranaki and the Wellington region.

A call for Queenstown cabbies to have early access to the Covid-19 vaccine’s been heard, just a day after
Mountain Scene reported it.
On Thursday
Scene reported cabbies, who pick up passengers at Queenstown Airport, were fuming they weren’t not being prioritised for Covid vaccinations because they’d been deemed low-risk.
But staff at rental car companies, operating from inside the airport terminal, have been offered the jab.
The owners of two of the bigger taxi companies in the resort had pleaded for the Ministry of Health to recognise the risk drivers faced of both catching and spreading the virus from airport pick-ups.
